THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The tongue is the armour of the heart, it even guards your life. Loud
talks, long talk, wild talk, talk full of anger and hate, all these affect your
health. They breed anger and hatred in others; they wound, they excite, they
enrage, and they estrange. Why is silence said to be golden? The silent person
has no enemies, though he or she may not have friends. They have the leisure
and the chance to dive within them and examine their own faults and failings.
They no more have inclination to seek them in others. If your foot slips, you
suffer a fracture; if your tongue slips, you fracture someone’s faith or joy.
That fracture can never be set right; that wound will fester forever. Therefore
use the tongue with great care. The softer you talk, the less you talk, the
more sweetly you talk, the better for you and the world.(Divine Discourse, Mar
29, 1965)
